Why is Bitcoin down right now?
$62,876
▼ -2.90% (24h) · -0.44% (1h)
Bitcoin's recent 2.9% decline over 24 hours appears primarily driven by geopolitical risk—the U.S. strike on Iran and Trump's China comments are creating near-term uncertainty that pressures risk assets. The institutional investment news (T. Rowe Price ETF, Citadel's $400M investment, Keyrock expansion) is generally positive but doesn't seem sufficient to offset the geopolitical headwinds currently weighing on price.
